luckily, we had no real damage from yesterday’s storm–a little bit of water in the basement and a few smaller branches. and lots of sticks. I made a first pass this afternoon, but there’s still plenty left.
storm damage
taken around the corner from our house. Luckily, it doesn’t look like any of the three cars were crushed, although there’s probably plenty of scratches. That said, a neighbor told me the truck is brand-new.
Tabatha
Parker had to go see the v-e-t today. This is Miss Tabatha, one of the clinic’s residents. She deserves all your attention.
hurricane prep
In dire times, people seem to go for the cheap store brand white bread, rather than the more expensive kinds that they usually buy. which seems a bit ridiculous when you consider they’ll be eating it for the next 6 months.
bean’s
who’s Bean? and why did he (she?) leave this container in the staff lounge?
conveniences
it amuses me that this massive piece of equipment (which I think is a floor buffer) has a cupholder on it.
also, there’s a hole in the wall.
sidewalk graffiti
usually people write their names or initials, or leave handprints or something else kind of personal. but not this guy.
still more caterpillar
I forgot to write down what species this little guy is, but he’s got cool racing stripes that I like.
impending doom
Here’s what the sky looked like as I walked to the subway. When I emerged at the other end, Mother Nature was throwing everything she had at us. I was soaked to the skin in just seconds.
crosswalk
Apparently people can’t be trusted to notice that the crosswalk now ends inside the construction fence, so they “painted” over it and created a new one.
